We were faced with a dark, open-plan, double-height office space and a challenge: to convert it into a home with spatial and luminous quality.

The original floor plan consists of a two-storey space, with a main floor and a small loft accessed via a staircase at the entrance. The only enclosed space on the ground floor is a small toilet. From the loft, a second staircase leads to the terrace.

The intervention proposes to place the kitchen in the entrance area, the living/dining room in the double-height area and a bedroom on the upper floor.

It was decided to enlarge the mezzanine and modify the position of the staircase to gain as much space as possible and to be able to include, in addition to the bed, a dressing room and a bathroom.

In order to achieve greater luminosity in the space, the colour white gains prominence and all the metallic elements of the stairs and handrails are reduced to a minimum. The two closed spaces on the ground floor and first floor are covered with mirrors to reflect the light that enters through the large window, illuminating the back of the space.

The concrete floor gives unity to the space, increasing the spatial relationship between its individual parts.
